Post-Holiday Spa Goodies You Can Make Right Now
Why is it that every year, despite our best intentions to relax and have a good time during the holidays, we end up running around crazy anyway? Entertaining visitors, attending parties, shuttling kids to various events and commitments, braving the crowds to pick up gifts, making crafts – there’s not…
Fun Stocking Stuffer! DermaQuest Vegan Makeup Brushes
Want to apply your makeup using expert tools – minus the fur of some poor mistreated animal? Decent quality vegan makeup brushes can be hard to find, let alone really good ones that are soft and non-shedding. As a girl who uses an angled eye brush every day to apply…
Blissoma: Possibly the Most Natural (and Affordable!) Skincare Line Yet
As a green beauty blogger, I get a lot of pitches, and I’d say a solid 70% of them are from companies that don’t really even know what ‘natural’ means. Hey, it’s a somewhat ambiguous word, and certainly not one you can trust to mean anything on a label. Hence,…

Beauty-Enhancing Herbs: Get Fresh, Glowing Skin & Healthy-Looking Hair
Just as they spice and flavor our food, nourish our bodies and help us heal, herbs are a natural beauty ally that can give you shinier, healthier hair and glowing, moisturized skin. Long used in Ayurvedic and Chinese traditions for beauty applications, herbs like turmeric and evening primrose are a…
Honoré des Prés, Organic Fragrances Designed by Olivia Giacobetti
When it comes to perfume, most eco-centric women tend to shy away from conventional choices and gravitate toward pure perfume oils instead. Considering that so many fragrances contain phthalates, petrochemicals and animal ingredients, it’s easy to see why. We don’t want to breathe these substances in and apply them to…
